The large Cobalt Blue is a glazed ceramic plant pot with a center drainage hole and a matching saucer, and at full size the cobalt we worked so hard to soften finally proves the point at scale. A harder version of this blue would have been genuinely difficult to live with in a room you actually spend time in. A lesser cobalt would chill the room it sits in; this one warms toward you instead, which is the entire point of the years we spent on it.

What you get instead is a color that holds the confidence of cobalt without the chill, a large, saturated blue that reads as considered rather than clinical. Glazed ceramic holds moisture more evenly than raw terracotta, and every large pot carries the blue its own way. Sized for a floor or a statement plant, it fills the space without freezing it. We are still proud of this one, and we do not say that about every color on the list.

Potting Tips

  1. Repot in the evening.
  2. Wait 1–2 days after watering, then repot.
  3. Buy potting mix. Not backyard dirt.
  4. Move the top layer of soil from the old pot into the new one. It's a little ecosystem.
  5. Never go more than one inch bigger.
  6. Soil line sits an inch below the rim. Leca or small rocks at the bottom for drainage.

Pot Care instructions
  1. Dishwasher-safe. Can also be hand-washed with warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
  2. Glazed pots are dipped and fired in the kiln — they are sealed, durable, and not looking for trouble. No special cleaning products required.
  3. For pots with saucers empty the saucer periodically. Standing water in the saucer defeats the purpose of having a drainage hole, which is a thing we feel strongly about.
  4. Not frost-safe. Designed for indoor use and covered outdoor temperate weather use. Freezing temperatures are not recommended.

Cobalt Blue at Full Scale: Confidence Without the Chill

At full size, the softened cobalt finally gets to prove why we bothered. Scale is unforgiving with a strong colour. A large pot in hard, clinical cobalt would be a genuinely difficult thing to share a room with, the kind of object that quietly cools the whole space around it. The version we worked toward does the opposite. It keeps everything that makes cobalt worth having, the depth, the saturation, the refusal to be a timid blue, and sheds the chill that made the raw colour unlivable.

At this size you can see the full argument: a large, confident, saturated blue that reads as deliberate rather than cold, as considered rather than clinical. It took an embarrassing number of attempts to find that balance, and the large pot is where the payoff is most obvious, because there is the most surface for the colour to either succeed or fail across. It succeeds. Each one settles a little differently, the blue holding its character while refusing to be identical twice. A centre drainage hole and a matching saucer sit beneath all of it, the steady mechanics under the colour we are proudest of. We are careful about claiming we got something exactly right. We are making that claim here, at full scale, without hedging.

Potting a plant with Chive

  1. It's best to repot your plant in the evening. Trust us, we know.
  2. Repot 1–2 days after watering — keeps the same rhythm going and won't shock it.
  3. Potting soil is not the dirt from your backyard. Go buy good, nutrient-rich soil.
  4. The top layer of soil in your current pot should be the top layer in the new pot too. It's a little ecosystem your plant likes.
  5. Never go more than one inch bigger than your existing pot. "It'll grow into it" is not correct, and you will kill it.
  6. Keep the soil line about an inch below the top of the pot. Add some leca or small rocks to the bottom for better aeration.

The Ultimate Repotting Guide

For those who have killed a plant. Or several. Or, frankly, many.

Before you put a plant into your new pot, you have to get it out of the nursery pot — a process that ends badly more often than any gardening influencer will admit. We wrote a full guide: when to repot (early spring, and not when you're feeling impulsive in October), which soil to use, how to tell your plant is root-bound, and how to avoid the three mistakes that kill perfectly healthy plants within a week of a well-intentioned repotting.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Minute in Cobalt Blue best suited to?

The Minute is a ceramic pot for indoor plants. It works well for pothos, snake plants, peace lilies, philodendrons, and small ferns and suits modern, boho, and minimalist rooms. As a large ceramic pot, the Minute fits a shelf, sill, or desk and pairs cleanly with the rest of the Chive pot range. This listing is the Cobalt Blue colourway.

The pot is sorted. Now what goes in it?

Shido seeds come vacuum-sealed, non-GMO, and packaged well enough that people keep the packets after the seeds are gone. Which is either a design success or a problem, depending on how you look at it.
